"Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future. I loved Spock. In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for 'Live long and prosper.' And after 83 years on this planet—and on his visits to many others – it’s clear Leonard Nimoy did just that. Michelle and I join his family, friends, and countless fans who miss him so dearly today." —President Obama﻿

Great news: The Federal Communications Commission just voted to keep the internet open and free. That's the power of millions making their voices heard. To everyone who spoke out, thank you. wh.gov/net-neutrality#NetNeutrality﻿

+John Poteet you don't have to go that far hell. + Betsy Loudermilk come to Oklahoma where we have salt waste water in our water supply. If you are lucky you might get a few spots of petroleum in your glass of water.﻿

+Jimi Atherton What? It's exactly what it says it is. Had they shut the DHS down it would have meant thousands would be furloughed and the functionality of the department would have been limited unnecessarily. It's a lame tactic by the GOP to try to get what they want or to slight the President.﻿

"I think that we can all agree that it’s a good thing when a family doesn’t lose a home just because a member of that family gets sick. And surely we can agree that it’s a good thing when businesses have roads and bridges and ports and the kind of Internet connections that allow all of us to thrive." —President Obama to the National Governors Association: http://go.wh.gov/f37Lne#PeopleOverPolitics﻿

"We’re taking new action to protect hardworking families’ retirement security. If you’re working hard and putting away money, you should have the peace of mind that the financial advice you’re getting is sound and that your investments are protected." —President Obama. ‪#‎ProtectYourSavings‬﻿

"Next week, Michelle and I and the girls will be traveling to Selma to pay tribute not just as a President or a First Lady or as African Americans, but as Americans—to those who changed the course of history at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Not just the legends and the giants of the Civil Rights Movement like Dr. King and John Lewis, but the countless American heroes whose names aren’t in the history books, that aren’t etched on marble somewhere—ordinary men and women from all corners of this nation, all walks of life, black and white, rich and poor, students, scholars, maids, ministers—all who marched and who sang and organized to change this country for the better." —President Obama: http://go.wh.gov/XSPJc1 ‪#‎BlackHistoryMonth‬﻿

"If you come to America, it’s because you believe in the future, and that has to be reflected in our politics." —President Obama on why he's taking action to fix our broken immigration system #ObamaTownHall ﻿

+John Poteet dear brother you adked for proof. Modest numerical calculations based on government statistics, wikileaks and media reports reveal that the British government spend a minimum £13+ billion a year from tax revenues on unproductive Muslims. Britain is expected to have more Muslims than all of Kuwait in less than two decades. While the government is trying to create £12 billion in annual cuts by targeting the handicapped, elderly, and poor amongst it’s own citizens, they have ignored a group that is highly overrepresented above anyone else in welfare exploitation. Sweden appears to be gripped in a similar situation with the country drowning in Muslim related expenses.

The Daily Telegraph reported in 2012 that 75% of all Muslim women are unemployed while 50% of all Muslim men are unemployed (67.5% total) - a staggering 350% rise from 13% for men and 18% for women in 2004. Muslims are also on sick leave more than anyone else, with 2001 figures revealing that 24% of females and 21% of males claim disability. Muslims are the most likely among all religious groups to be living in accommodation rented from the council or housing association (28%); 4% live rent-free (2004 figures). As if this is not enough, the total prison population in the UK amongst category A and B criminals (third degree criminals) is now 35-39% Muslim.

Since current statistics fail to clarify how many Muslims actually collect benefits, and whether unemployment figuresinclude those on disability and in prison, only a crude estimate can be made. In spite of this our calculation is based only on basic, lowest payouts in Britain, meaning most additional paypits that Muslims would be entitled to are not included. The indications are nevertheless shocking: roughly4.25 million Muslims, or more than 85%, live off tax payers (2012 unconfirmed estimate increased the Muslim population number from 3 million to 4.25). If we average this with a simple, quick calculation of the minimum benefit payment of £67 a week granted in Britain for adults, at least £ 284,750,000 per week (£1.139 billion per month) is spent from taxpayers on Muslims who barely contribute anything whatsoever to Britain’s revenues – except making more Muslims.Read the rest of the article. There are similar if not worse in other European countries.
